The steps above should teach you how to fix high CPU usage and hopefully solve the issues that have an outsize impact on your CPU usage and gameplay.

Is 70% CPU usage high?

If the System Idle Process is high, around 70% – 90%, in the CPU column of the Task Manager. And, you’re not running any programs or perhaps just a few. It is normal for it to be high because the processor is not doing much at the moment.
